Puget Sound Energy (PSE) has announced it is developing the Beaver Creek wind farm, a utility-scale wind project that will be located on the high plains in Stillwater County, Montana, USA.
The wind farm will have an expected initial nameplate capacity of 248MW. Additionally, there will be an opportunity to add wind turbines in neighbouring Sweet Grass County, as well as a lithium-ion battery energy storage system to shape Beaver Creek’s variable wind output and better match PSE’s customer energy needs. The project will interconnect on NorthWestern Energy’s system and will use existing PSE transmission on the Colstrip Transmission System to bring the wind energy back to PSE customers.
